New Stake in Brazil

A new stake was created in northeastern Brazil in Pernambuco State. The Caruaru Brazil Stake was organized from the Caruaru Brazil District and the Recife Brazil Jardim São Paulo Stake and includes the following five wards and two branches: The Boa Vista, Caruaru, Catende, Gravatá, and Mauricio de Nassau Wards and the Camocim de São Félix and Jardim dos Pinheiros Branches. The Caruaru Brazil District was originally organized in 2008 from the Garanhuns Brazil Stake.

There are now 14 stakes and one district in Pernambuco and 243 stakes and 46 districts in Brazil

Stakes and Districts Discontinued in 2018

About Me

My interest in researching the growth of the LDS Church began in 2002. I began this blog in late 2007 to provide a forum to discuss LDS growth developments and share information. I have also worked for The Cumorah Foundation since 2009 providing research assistance and resource development on LDS growth and missionary work. Since this time I have been interviewed by various media organizations and have co-authored with David Stewart our comprehensive work Reaching the Nations: International Church Growth Almanac: 2014 Edition. I have a masters degree in psychology and a doctorate degree in clinical psychology.
